IL-5 Protein, Pig (His)
IL-5 Protein, expressed by T-lymphocytes and NK cells, is vital for eosinophil survival, differentiation, and chemotaxis. It also affects B-cells, inducing immunoglobulin production and growth. IL-5 Protein activates kinases LYN, SYK, and JAK2 through IL5RA and CSF2RB subunits, signaling via RAS-MAPK and JAK-STAT5 pathways. It exists as a disulfide-linked homodimer. IL-5 Protein, Pig (His) is the recombinant pig-derived IL-5 protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-His labeled tag.

IL-5 Protein is a homodimeric cytokine predominantly expressed by T-lymphocytes and NK cells, playing a crucial role in the survival, differentiation, and chemotaxis of eosinophils. It also acts on activated and resting B-cells, inducing immunoglobulin production, growth, and differentiation. Mechanistically, IL-5 Protein exerts its biological effects through a receptor composed of IL5RA subunit and the cytokine receptor common subunit beta/CSF2RB, leading to the activation of various kinases such as LYN, SYK, and JAK2. These activated kinases propagate signals through the RAS-MAPK and JAK-STAT5 pathways. IL-5 Protein exists as a disulfide-linked homodimer and interacts with IL5RA and CSF2RB subunits.
